Even if MeeGo was a major marketing feature, it has been communicated
that Harmattan specific stuff won't be welcome on meego mailing lists.
That is, it's not just a Nokia marketing decision.

Spiritually, I think Harmattan users are firmly in the "MeeGo
community" more than anything else, but those channels are just not
the most hospitable place for detailed device-specific technical
discussion. Forum Nokia (i.e. web forum) will be an endorsed
communication channel, but as it appears, forums are not very popular
among busy people.
